Amph The "Hugo and Nebula" Lounge social thread

Mmmmmmm steak. Welcome back!

 

Thanks Yeah, really expensive, but really, really good. Granddad turned 80, so we were celebrating (whgich is actually why the relatives were in in the first place).

So, what have I missed?

 

Well, I posted "LOL Gotcha!" and then you came back.

 

I noticed I mean in general

 

Not a lot that I know of. Spring Break is coming to a close and classes start tomorrow...

 

I could be mean and brag about how I have another whole week but I won't

 

That's nice of you. I always find myself wishing Spring Break was two weeks. Really summer is SO long one week would not make a difference. And it would make a HUGE difference now.

 

Think of it this way: you've got several more weeks of summer than I do (I'm sure). But yes, spring break was very much needed. I had an awful week right before with a term paper due and at least one test in every class, so I was very glad for the break.

 

See I would rather have more time at Spring Break. If one does not take Summer term (and it is optional) then one has like 3.5 MONTHS of break. I find that completely excessive. I'd be fine with 2 months with the rest of the time spread out among the existing breaks between terms.

 

True. And I NEED a nice break in the middle of second semester because of being overloaded. But I wouldn't say no to a longer summer; ten weeks could go to twelve IMO.

 

We are on terms, so we have three 10 week terms, for Fall, Winter and Spring.

 

Ahem.

 

I think we should rename this the "Strilo and NYCitygurl" Lounge . . .

How was your day?

 

Good. It's Friday! And I am setting up a sexy new 17" iMac at work.

 

I think this weekend has the potential to be great. I'm off from work on Monday and Tuesday as well so I expect to read quite a bit.

 

emilsson, I'm jealous. I'd love a couple extra days off.

 

Don't we all . I'm lucky to get them once in awhile.

 

I don't get days completely off. Even on weekends when I don't work, I have tons of homework. Only til August tho... then I can be free! LOL!

 

I too have things to do, but today I've just relaxed.

Anyway, August is not that far away in time.

 

True. Before I know it, I will have a degree and will have to re-enter the workforce.

Today my family is all coming over to my sort-of new apartment for a grilling party!

 

What are you studying?

Grill parties are great . I'm going to one on Monday. I just hope the weather will be good enough.

 

I lucked out. The weather today is gorgeous.

I am majoring in Liberal Arts and German Language with a minor in Film Studies.

 

Ooh, great! I did Liberal Arts too.

BTW, I noticed your signature. I think "Anakin's Betrayal" is my favourite track from the ROTS soundtrack.

 

Have fun!!!

I still have 5 years to go, and that's in I don't go to grad school I'd loooove a day off, but I'd be in theory studying for AP exams (which are in less than two weeks and I haven't started studying for).

 

Good luck with your exams!

I can't believe I did 19 years in school (primary school, high school and university)....
